SS-31 Peptide (Elamipretide) | 99% Purity Mitochondria-Targeting Research Peptide
SS-31 peptide, scientifically recognized as Elamipretide (and alternatively known as MTP-131 or Bendavia), is a premier synthetic tetrapeptide engineered specifically for mitochondrial-targeting research. At Peptide Basics, we provide research-grade SS-31 designed to interact selectively with cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane. This unique mechanism makes it a cornerstone for laboratory investigations into bioenergetics, cellular aging, and oxidative stress modulation.
Our SS-31 is supplied as a highly stable, lyophilized powder. To ensure the integrity of your data, every batch undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee ≥99% purity, verified through HPLC and mass spectrometry. Each order includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an ISO-accredited third-party laboratory, ensuring your peptide research meets the highest scientific standards.
Why SS-31 (Elamipretide) is Essential for Mitochondrial Studies
Researchers utilize Elamipretide because of its ability to penetrate cell membranes and localize within the mitochondria without requiring a membrane potential. This makes it a superior tool compared to traditional antioxidants when studying the following areas:
- ATP Production & Efficiency: Analyzing the optimization of the electron transport chain and overall cellular energy output.
- Cardiolipin Interaction: Investigating how SS-31 stabilizes mitochondrial cristae and prevents the release of cytochrome c.
- ROS Scavenging: Studying the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the primary source—the mitochondria.
- Cellular Longevity: Using SS-31 in models of senescence and age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.
